Israeli attack kills almost 30 people in a building in Gaza

An Israeli air strike killed at least 29 Palestinians, including children, in a house in Shejaia, in the city of Gaza, local health officials reported on Wednesday (9).

Doctors said dozens of other people were injured in the attack that hit a multi -storey residential building in the eastern suburb of the city of Gaza. Many are still missing and arrested under the ruins of the building.

The attack has damaged several other nearby houses, the health officials continued.

The Israeli army stated in a statement that it reached a senior Hamas militant responsible for planning and executing attacks on Shejaia, in northern Gaza, which was not identified.

The army stated that several measures were taken before the offensive to mitigate the damage to the civilians.

Local health officials reported that nine other Palestinians were killed in separated Israeli military attacks in other parts of the territory, raising the death toll on Wednesday to 38.

Last week, the military ordered the departure of residents of Shejaia, claiming that the forces intended to operate against militants in the area.


Israel resumed the bombing of Gaza on March 18, after a two -month truce, and sent troops back to the enclave.

For the next three weeks, the Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas, states that Israeli military attacks killed almost 1,500 Palestinians.

Since late March, Israel has ordered residents to leave the territory to create what they describe as a security zone; The population fears that the objective is to depove the areas permanently.

Meanwhile, the armed arms of Hamas and Islamic jihad fired rockets against Israel.

Israel and Hamas exchange accusations about the impasse in ceasefire negotiations.

Arab mediators Qatar and Egypt, supported by the United States, have intensified efforts to restore calm, but so far they have not been able to reduce the distance between the parts in conflict.

The Israel War in Gaza was triggered in October 2023, when Hamas fighters killed 1,200 people in southern Israel and made about 250 hostages, according to Israeli data.

Since then, more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli military campaign, according to Palestinian authorities.
